8. FOR WHAT REASON WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DATA
INVESTIGATOR?
Generally, this kind of inquiry can fill in as an
icebreaker. Notwithstanding, now and then,
regardless of whether the questioners dont
unequivocally say it, they anticipate that you
should answer an increasingly explicit With
these self-reflective questions, theres not
really a right answer I can offer you. There are
wrong answers, thoughred flags for which the
employer is searching.

• A few things you probably want to get across
  include
• You love data.
• Youve researched the company and understand why
  your role as a data analyst will help it succeed.
• You more or less understand whats expected of
  your role.
• Youre confident in your decision.

10. DESCRIBE A TIME WHEN YOU HAD TO PERSUADE
OTHERS. HOW DID YOU GET BUY-IN?
The trick to this question is to demonstrate that
you not only persuaded others of a decision but
that it was the right decision. Sample answer
As a data analyst intern at my last company, we
didnt really have a modern means of transferring
files between co-workers. We used flash drives.
It took some work, but eventually, I convinced my
manager to let me research file-sharing services
that would work best for our team. We tried drop
box and Google Drive, but ultimately we settled
on using Share point drives because it integrated
well with some of the software we were already
using on a daily basis, especially Excel. It
certainly improved efficiency and minimized the
wasted time searching for who had what records at
what times.

14. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DATA MINING
AND DATA PROFILING?
Data mining is a process in which you classify
patterns, irregularities, and correlations in
large data sets to forecast outcomes. On the
other hand, data profiling lets analysts observed
and erase data. Sample answer Whereas data
mining is concerned with gathering information
from data, data profiling is concerned mainly
with estimating the quality of data.
24
15. How have you dealt with messy data in the
past? Up to 80 of a data analysts time can be
spent on cleaning data. Even more important when
you consider that, if your data is unclean and
produces inaccurate insights, it could lead to
costly company actions based on false
information. Yikes. That could mean trouble for
you. You want to validate not only that you know
the difference between messy data and clean data
but also that you used that information to
cleanse the data.
25
Sample answer A client of ours was unhappy with
our staffing reports, so I needed to pore over
one to see what was causing their chagrin. I was
looking at some data in a spreadsheet that
contained information about when our call canter
employees went to break, took lunch, etc., and I
noticed that the time stamps were inconsistent
some had a.m., some had p.m., some didnt have
any specifications for morning or night, and
worst of all, many of these employees were
located in different time zones, so this needed
to be made more consistent as well. To solve the
a.m. or p.m. dilemma, I made sure all times were
specified in the military. This had two benefits
first, it eliminated the strings in the data and
made the whole column numeric second, it removed
any need to specify morning or night as military
time does this inherently. Next, I converted all
times to UTC, this way all of the data was in the
same time zone. This was important for the report
I was working on because otherwise the data would
be presented out of order and it could cause
confusion for our client. Reorganizing the
reports data this way helped improve our
relationship with the client, who, due to the
time discrepancies, previously believed we were
understaffed at specific times of day.

16. HOW MANY X IS IN Y PLACE?

• This question takes many forms, but the premise
  of it is quite simple. Its asking you to work
  through a mathematical problem, usually figuring
  out the number of an item in a certain place, or
  figuring out how much of something could
  potentially be sold somewhere.
• Find how many malls are in a particular city in
  the country?
• Find how many engineering colleges with adequate
  facilities are available in state/district?

27
Sample answer I believe there are about 10
million people in New York, give or take a couple
million. Assuming each of them lives in a
residential building, with three rooms or more,
if there were one window per room that would make
approximately 30 million windows. Im making a
few different assumptions that are probably
inaccurate. For instance, that everyone lives
alone and that the average size of their
residences is just three rooms with one window
per room. Obviously, there will be a lot of
variations in reality. But I consider, in terms
of residences, 30 million windows could be
close. Then youd have to take windows for
businesses, subway rail cars, and personal
vehicles. If the average subway car seats 1,000
people, with 1 window per 2 seats, thats 500
windows per car. A little more math Id guess
there are at least enough subway cars to support
the whole population of New York so 10 million
divided by 1,000 comes out to 10,000. So there
are another 5 million windows for subway cars. If
half of all people own their own vehicle, thats
another six windows per person, so 30 million
more windows. Id guess there are at least
100,000 businesses with windows in NYC. Lets
just say for the sake of argument theres an
average of 10 windows each. Thats another
million. Im sure theres way more than
that. Overall, were at 66 million windows
(30,000,000 x 2 5,000,000 1,000,000). All of
this pretty much hinges on how close I am to the
actual population of New York City. Also, there
are other places to find windows, such as busses
or boats. But thats a start.

18. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TOP INTERVIEW QUESTION FOR
PROSPECTIVE DATA ANALYSTS? HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER
THIS QUESTION?

• Worldwide valuation Perform comparative
  examination of the raw file and the loaded data
  by the following
• Count the number of rows
• Count the number of columns
• Sum the numeric columns
• Check the data types (i.e., if I thought that a
  column was entirely filled with dates then that
  should persist)
• Localized assessment
• Randomly pick a few rows and manually compare
• Check the distinct elements in textual fields
  (i.e., if categories A, B, and C exist before,
  then thats all I should see after)
• Check conversions if applicable (i.e., if NA is
  used for non-responses for numerical values then
  the database wont accept it if were storing the
  data in a numerical field)

Suppose that you were provided a flat-file (
Excel, CSV, etc. 41 to manipulate and load
into a database. It contains millions of rows.
Suppose that you were provided a flat-file (
Excel, CSV, etc. 41 to manipulate and load
into a database. It contains millions of
rows. While loading the database from data, you
have to perform an analysis, in case building
some type of mathematical model. While you cant
ever be 100 confident that everything was
processed and loaded correctly, you can do some
things in order to ensure that you are reasonably
confident. Describe for me what you would do.

• Data Exploration
• It defines exploring the data for analysis. When
  a data analyst has identified the business
  problem, it is suggested to go through the data
  provided by the client and then analyze the root
  cause of the problem.
• Data Preparation
• Data is collected from the client or any other
  sources are usually in the raw form. It plays an
  important role in the process of data analysis as
  it detects the missing values and outliers or any
  other data anomalies and treats accordingly to
  model the data.

• Data Modelling
• Once the data is prepared, the process of data
  modeling starts where the model is run repeatedly
  for improvements. It ensures that the best
  possible result is provided.
• Validation
• In the process of validation, the model developed
  by data analysts and the model provided by the
  client is validated against each other to find
  out if the developed model will meet the business
  requirements.
• Deployment of the Model and Tracking
• This is the final step where the model is
  deployed and is tested for efficiency and
  accuracy.

22. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HYPOTHESIS
TESTING IN DATA ANALYTICS?

• T-test It is used for the typical deviation is
  unidentified and the sample size is moderately
  small.
• Chi-Square Test for Independence These tests are
  used to discover the significance of the
  association between categorical variables in the
  people sample.

• Homogeneity of Variance (HOV) tests the
  similarity of dispersion parameters in several
  population samples.
• Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) This kind of
  hypothesis testing is used to analyze differences
  between the means in a variety of groups. This
  test is frequently used similarly to a T-test
  but, is used for a lot more than two groups.

• Welchs T-test This test is used to discover the
  test for equality of means between two population
  samples

35

• A data analyst must have the following skills
• Database knowledge
• Database management
• Data Blending
• Querying
• Data manipulation
• Predictive Analytics
• Basic descriptive statistics
• Predictive modeling
• Advanced analytics
• Big Data Knowledge
• Big data analytics
• Unstructured data analysis
• Machine learning
• Presentation skill
• Data visualization
• Insight presentation
• Report design

23. MENTION THE KEY SKILLS REQUIRED FOR DATA
ANALYTICS.

24. DESCRIBE UNIVARIATE, BIVARIATE, AND
MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS IN DATA ANALYTICS.

• Uni-variate analysis
• Its only 1 variable and therefore you will find
  no relationships, causes. The key facet of the
  univariate analysis would be to summarize the
  information and discover the patterns within it
  to produce actionable decisions.

• Bi-variate analysis
• This deals with the partnership between two sets
  of data. These sets of paired data result from
  related sources or samples. A few of the tools
  used to analyze such data includes chi-squared
  tests and t-tests once the data have a
  correlation. The potency of the correlation
  between both data sets will soon be tested in
  bivariate analysis.

• Multivariate analysis 
• This is similar to bivariate analysis. It is a
  couple of techniques useful for the analysis of
  data sets that contain more than one variable,
  and the techniques are especially valuable
  whenever using correlated variables.

37
25. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LINEAR AND
LOGISTIC REGRESSION?
Linear regression is a statistical model that
attempts to fit the best possible straight line
between the independent and the dependent
variables when a set of input features are given.
As the output is continuous, the cost function
measures the distance from the observed to the
predicted values. It can be said to be an
appropriate choice to solve regression problems,
for example, predicting sales numbers. On
another hand, Logistic regression gives
probability as its output. By definition, it is a
bounded variable between zero and one, because of
the sigmoid activation function. It is
appropriate to solve classification problems, for
instance, predicting whether a transaction is a
fraud or not.
